Parents are busy reinforcing their houses on the street, and naughty children rush to the windows to catch the crows.
It stared at the reflection coming from behind on the window, flew up to avoid the attacks of human children, and landed on the eaves of the house.
The little boy looked at it unwillingly for a while, then turned and ran away. The crow flew down again, landed in front of the window, and pecked at the glass with its beak.
Two figures in the room looked over after hearing the noise, and then a figure walked out of the room.
Crow tilted his head and looked at the remaining figures in the room for a while, then turned his head to the door of the long house that was pushed open.
Lu Li, holding an umbrella, walked out from behind the door, walked to the window, and took out the note from Black Crow's leg.
The rainy season is approaching soon. In order to prevent rain leakage, the two windows of the detective agency were reinforced by the landlord as if to please, sealing the gaps, but this also prevented the windows from opening normally.
This time the black crow didn't stop, it spread its wings and flew straight into the rain curtain and disappeared.
Lu Li returned to the detective agency with the note and asked Anna to light the oil lamp and sit on the sofa to unfold the note.
"The incident with the wraith in Himfast?" Anna put the oil lamp on the dining table next to the sofa, illuminating a small area.
"It should be."
Lu Li moved a little closer to the edge, and with the light from the window and the oil lamp, he could see the contents above.
A curious face came over quietly.
[The event you completed this time: the cry for help in the alley]
[Event Difficulty: None]
[Completion: 111%]
[Total time: 1 day]
[Your completion degree in the event is 111%, and you will receive a reward of 111 (completion degree) x 2 (no difficulty event multiplier) = 222 investigation points]
[The following content is information details]
[The weird thing is a female wraith (5%). When speaking, its head will rotate clockwise (1%). It usually appears in dark alleys at night. When people approach, it will be pulled into its ritual (7%).
), any movement method, including leaving and approaching, will be judged as a ritual failure (25%) by the rules of the wraith.】
[The dark alley will first hear a cry for help suspected of being the body of the wraith (5%), and then the head of the wraith will appear on the edge of the alley, allowing people to see her face (5%). Several palms will emerge from the darkness.
In the middle depth, drag back the head of the wraith (5%), and the cry for help will turn into a scream (5%) after a few seconds, until the sound disappears after about 30 seconds (3%).]
[If the person who is pulled into the ritual does not move at this stage, the resentful spirit will reappear at the edge of the alley, ask repeatedly why you didn't save me (7%), and then answer "Because you are not a human being.", Resentment
The spirit will answer "I am a human being."——]
The following content repeats Lu Li's conversation with the resentful spirit that night. Lu Li looked directly at the information level in brackets at the end, which was displayed as (50%).
This usually means that the ritual sense of the resentful spirit has been cracked by Lu Li and can be avoided to a certain extent through repeated methods. If the resentful spirit is directly eliminated, the information level will become 100%.
The completion degree of 111% means a very high evaluation. The only regret is that this event is only a basic event, or it will not be judged as "difficult" in the investigator event, so it only has the most basic double multiplier, which can only
Change to investigation point 222.
This converts to about 2,500 shillings.
Including the nearly 600 shillings notified to the businessman, the total income was 3,000 shillings.
Much better than being an exorcist going around solving trouble.
In fact, Lu Li's income can be increased even more - no one will exchange the contribution points obtained for shillings. Exorcists usually exchange them for practical tools or homologues, as well as some privileges. Those exchanged things
The value is much higher than the 1:10 ratio. Lu Lida can exchange his contribution points for these things and then sell them.
But Lu Li didn't have that much time.
Not only is it approaching the possible doomsday, but also the price of deep sea stones is rising day by day.
In any case, Lu Li already had the funds to buy cans and hire stonemasonry.
If the [Man-Eating House] event can be raised to "Easy Difficulty", Lu Li who completely completes the event will receive a large amount of investigation points, which will be more than enough for Lu Li to buy the fourth deep sea stone.
After a while, the store manager of the grocery store personally delivered two boxes of canned goods. After Lu Li expressed that he wanted another box of canned beef, he happily promised that it would be delivered immediately, and if there was still demand in the future, he could offer some discounts.
Not including this time.
However, Lu Li asked him to deliver the canned beef tomorrow because he only had contribution points and no shillings.
The store manager said yes, and happily agreed with Lu Li on a price of 1,100 shillings - eliminating the 40 shillings change.
After confirming that it will be delivered tomorrow afternoon, the store manager left the detective agency.
"It's so expensive..."
Anna, who was influenced by her ears and eyes, tainted part of Lu Li's personality, muttered.
Even with today's prices, 57 shillings was enough for the family to have a hearty meal, but Lu Li only bought cans of heavy tin cans.
“But worth the money.”
The storage time of canned food is unmatched by any other food.
Except honey.
But bees should no longer be seen in this world. Plants no longer grow, and bees will be one of the first creatures to become extinct.
This is one of the reasons why Lu Li insists that the world will collapse.
He knows better than anyone how important plants are.
Lu Li asked Anna to move the three boxes of cans back to the bedroom and put them away. The bedroom would temporarily become his refuge after the rainy season.
After finishing everything he could do at the moment, Lu Li picked up the three newspapers delivered in the morning and read through them.
There is no new news, or there is a high probability that the new news happening now will not appear in these normal newspapers.
The expected arrival time of the rainy season has been predicted: it will start next Wednesday and last for nearly half a month.
In addition to the forecast for the rainy season, three newspapers also issued notices that during the rainy season the daily newspapers will be changed to twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
Maybe Lu Li was overthinking it, but all of this really gave off the bad vibe of an approaching disaster.
Looking out the window, the residents of this street are still busy building their nests under the rain.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a mason came to the longhouse and was taken to the door of the detective agency by his neighbor.
Anna disappeared, and Lu Li brought the masonry into the detective agency.
The stoneworker wearing suspenders and a poncho was stunned when he saw the deep sea stone. He told Lu Li that this kind of monolithic stone was not something they could handle - of course it could be cut, but a considerable part of the stone would be lost and turned into
Scrap cannot be used.
After the masons left, Anna emerged and looked at Lu Li who was thoughtful.
"Um."
But you can't ask for details until the businessman comes.
Tomorrow, Monday, the merchant will arrive with the Deep Sea Stone and the Investigator Weekly.
